Usability Evaluation Meets Design: The Case of bisco Office™
Abstract
Usability Evaluation Methods (UEM) are plentiful in the literature. However, there appears to be a new interest in usability testing from the viewpoint of the industry practitioner and renewed effort to reflect usability design principles throughout the software development process. In this chapter we examine one such example of usability testing from the viewpoint of the industry practitioner and reflect upon how usability evaluation methods are perceived by the software developers of a content driven system and discuss some benefits that can be derived from bringing together usability theory and usability evaluation methods protocols used by practitioners. In particular, we use the simulated prototyping method and the “Talk Aloud” protocol to assist a small software development company to undertake usability testing. We propose some issues that arise from usability testing from the perspectives of the researchers and practitioners and discuss our understanding of the knowledge transfer that occurs between the two.
